Help is much needed (wheel adapters)

I have a 2000 f.150, which has a 5 lug bolt pattern, i Bought tires for very cheap with a six lug bolt pattern. both 135 mm bolts, i believe. The tires fit perfectly on my buddies 2007 f.150 which i s 6-lug. Does anybody have any solid information as to how i can get these tires on my truck without changing my whole drum to a six bolt. I am having a hard time finding a 5 to 6 lug wheel adapter that will workout safely. Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

An adapter won't work too well in your case. If the tires are of a same size, just mont them into your wheels, if not, get some cheap wheels with the correct size and lug pattern. summitracing has one of the best selection of wheels.

There is no safe way to mount 6-lug wheels on a 5-lug vehicle.
